Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships 2012
The School of Arts and Humanities is able to support a limited number of applications to the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship 2012 competition. Early Career Fellowships aim to provide career development opportunities for those with a proven track record of research who are at a relatively early stage of their academic careers. The School is fortunate to host several exceptional Leverhulme Early Career Fellows in a number of Departments currently, and is committed to supporting fully their scholarship and career development.
Decisions about which applications will be supported in the 2012 round will be made by a panel of senior academics within the School, who will meet mid-February to consider applications that have been forwarded for consideration by Heads of Department.
Applications will be ranked by the department before being forwarded to the School to complete the nominations process. To ensure that your application can be considered by the department, the deadline for submission is 12 pm 2 February 2012.
Applications should be submitted to Ms Chelo Rodriguez (Research & Resources manager, Departments of Philosophy and Theology & Religious Studies)
